How can I mock these two loc using mockito in spring boot.

JsonNode jsonNode = objectMapper.readValue(httpResponseObject.getResponseBody(), JsonNode.class);
    String token = jsonNode.get("token").asText();

I have mocked the first loc using below mocking but don't know how to mock the second loc.

String jsonString = TestingUtil.getResponse();
    JsonNode jsonNode = objectMapper.readTree(jsonString);


    Mockito.when(objectMapper.readValue(Mockito.anyString(), Mockito.any(Class.class))).thenReturn(jsonNode);

but here jsonNode is returning null pointer exception

Here is detail explanation of mocking objectMapper.

Actually in terms of unit testing, there is no difference between objectMapper and any class to test. Simply add dependency to be mocked, specify rule for it(e.g when->then), assert it.

--EDIT--

Add JsonNode as mock object.

JsonNode mockNode = mock(JsonNode.class);
JsonNode innerMockNode = mock(JsonNode.class);
Mockito.when(objectMapper.readValue(Mockito.anyString(), Mockito.any(Class.class))).thenReturn(mockNode);
Mockito.when(mockNode.get("token")).thenReturn(innerMockNode);
Mockito.when(innerMockNode.asText()).thenReturn("myToken");
